Abstract

A FIFO circuit for a DDR memory system includes a pointer generator and a FIFO circuit. The FIFO circuit includes a pointer generator and a FIFO buffer. The pointer generator receives a first reset signal and a delay select signal from the memory controller. After the first reset signal is de-asserted, the pointer generator generates a write pointer according to a first reference clock and the pointer generator generates a read pointer according to a second reference clock. An input data is stored into the FIFO buffer according to the first reference clock and the write pointer. An output data is outputted from the FIFO buffer according to the second reference clock and the read pointer.
